Prayer on the Fifth Sunday in Lent–Evangelical Lutheran Prayer-Treasury

O Lord God, Heavenly Father! Your beloved Son, our Redeemer, Christ Jesus, said, “Whoever keeps My Word will not see eternal death.” We beseech You: since You come to us in Your Son’s Word, and have allowed us to hear it, grant us also Your Holy Spirit in our hearts, so that we may also keep it, depend on it with our whole hearts, and be consoled by it in the midst of dying, so that in eternity we may not see death, according to the will of Your beloved Son, our Redeemer. Amen.
